You mean when I pointed out the OL was a big problem, as well? Man.. that isn't that hard to see. 

Neither is this rotation stuff. 

I clearly remember you laying zero blame on Sheridan

Not the whole season.

Just give it up it’s pointless… we know starting Miller and Stew together was a bad lineup which resulted in poor start after poor start because we only had one ball handler on the floor but trying to get Btown to say anything negative about a coach is next to impossible.. the dude even defended Sheridan when he was the OC and we know how bad that was.. look at Penix now lol

it looks like he's trying too hard. I like his intensity, but he gets faked out a lot.

The only one I recall was the jump ball and I thought we retained possession.. other than that don’t remember anything else in his unfortunately brief time.

As I stated in my post, his 2 TO's were put down as steals by Xavier. Not as TO's on the stat sheet.

Boy...you must be a joy to live with.

Haha what are you talking about

Actually it came from the official box score.

Fake news again…you either can’t read numbers or lying. He had 0 turnovers

Geronimo didn't take a shot in 5 minutes. Had at least 2 TO's that I saw from mis-handling the ball (read can't dribble) that went down as steals for Xavier, and cost us 4-5 pts. He only had 1 rebound. Not exactly lighting it up offense or defense. 

 

Fake news

Geronimo is not a wing and doesn't play the same position as Kopp

Tell me what Kopp does that Geronimo can’t do? Kopp can’t dribble and when he tries he turns us over like last night or air balls a layup..so don’t act like Geronimo “can’t dribble” is such an issue… when Kopp is making shots sure play him more but you start out 0-5 I’d try Geronimo. Especially with 2 other ball handlers on the floor.. Geronimo has shown good touch from mid range and outside already this year which is right where he left off from last year.. not to mention the impact he makes on the boards and on defense with his length

They don't play the same position. 

The bold though, the little JG played didn't have me craving for more.. and if he plays more, one of TJD, RT, or MR play less. 

Not even going there with you…Woodson could start 2 walk ons over TJD and X and you would back him haha you were same way with Archie and that really panned out… Woodson brought Indian back I love it but still think he favors Kopp to much at times especially when he starts out as poorly as he did

The big problem there is Geronimo can't play the wing. He isn't a wing and never has been. Into his 3rd season the only minutes he's ever played there was the NW game when half the team was suspended. 

Kopp played excellent defense last night. Why is a miscommunication his fault? How do we know it wasn't TJD's fault?

Haha you guys and the Geronimo can’t play the 3…thought he has looked pretty good on perimeter so far this year… woodson even said him self this year in a PC that he doesn’t think of players by a “position” or number anymore

1-4 is a really small sample size. If Kopp had gotten 1 more open look in the 2nd half and made it, all of the sudden he's 2-for-5 for 40% and nobody is complaining. 

Plus, he played excellent defense, knows the system on both ends, doesn't turn it over, etc. Until Bates, or someone else at that spot, elevates their play and proves they can be consistently trusted, Kopp is the best option. 

Give me Geronimo.. Kopp had 2 turnovers and a layup that never touched the rim = turnover…Kopp got beat on back door and had a mis communication with TJD at the end which lead to Xavior 3 to cut it too 1… 28 minutes is to much for that lack of production and 5 minutes for Geronimo is to little.. would like to see Kopp at about 15-20 and Geronimo 10-15 at least… this cam fluctuate if Kopp hits a couple early and has it going but he started out 0-5 last night. Should gave Geronimo some more run. 

Miller Kopp 28 minutes… 0 rebounds, 1 assist, 2-8 from field, and 4 fouls… yikes!!

Some of us mentioned Braden Smith was a stud. 

Smith is really really  good 

Woodson really is saving IU basketball folks

Was really hard on Kopp last year.. if he can make open 3’s around 40% and give us 17 min a game I’ll take it all year long 

Geronimo is a stud!!

Smith is going to be really really good. Always wished IU would of offered

Yes, he use to coach Bowling Green.

Ya I’m sure he had interest trying to make a name for himself before he won 2 national championships and made 50 million dollars.. now no chance. Literally.

According to DD Urban was interested in the IU job when he was at Bowling Green 

When urban was at bowling green?

Urban can sit in a chair and talk football while making millions.. why on earth would he want to deal with trying to make a bad program competitive 

Haha to anyone thinking urban would even remotely consider the IU job.. this isn’t IU basketball… Gruden highly highly unlikely as well but at least there is a connection to IU. 

Does anyone know if the game will be replayed Sunday on the BIG network so I don’t have to pay for BTN+??

Thanks. Henderson might be able to but one guy is not going to make that big of a difference in the grand scheme of things. Henderson is averaging 4.5 per carry and Shivers is at 4.1. Scott averaged 4.7 and also had over 200 yards receiving at 8.1 per catch. Henderson could probably produce closer to that production than Shivers but until I see it I'm hesitant to say that he'd be a dude as a lead back. 

.2 yards behind Scott when he had a better line and I think Henderson has like 3 receiving touchdowns 

On the other hand the BIG West has got to be the worst division in college football. The divisions need to end ASAP. Continuing to make Penn State, Michigan, Ohio State, and occasionally really good Michigan State beat up on themselves and nock each other out of better bowl games  is stupid. 
 

the SEC already has an advantage with one less conference game and we don’t help ourselves by stacking everyone good on one side.. shouldn’t even have the BIG title game it’s never close

Here's what I mean when I say this team lacks difference makers. 

In 2019 IU had the following

• Peyton Ramsey and Michael Penix at QB both are better than what Bazelak has shown at this point. 
• Stevie Scott who's a better lead back than anyone IU has currently. 
• Whop Philyor, Peyton Hendershot, Ty Fryfogle, and Nick Westbrook as pass catchers. 

Then in 2020 IU lost Ramsey and Westbrook from that list. That's why IU has success those two years more than anything else. I could make the case that IU has deeper rooms at WR and RB now than they did in 2019 but they don't have the top end difference makers. Camper has been pretty good and you could make the case for him but that's about it. 

 

 

You have a good point here but again I’ve got to disagree.. I think DJ Mathews, Camper, Simmons, Henderson, and Lucas are all good enough playmakers to win… I also like Bazelak and Barner… but In 2019 we had one heck of an offensive coordinator who is killing it as a HC st Washington and a way better O Line… 

our offense can’t be what it should because…

1. Henderson and Lucas aren’t playing enough 

2. The O line has been such a disaster there is no time to throw the ball downfield and the offense play book is basically cut in half because of it..

3. we lost our great offensive coordinator. 

Even with our OC from 19 our offensive line has completely held this team hostage and we don’t play the right guys.

continue to shoot ourselves in the foot when you have to be on top of your game in the BIG East to stay alive.

All 3 RB’s can do some things when utilized properly. None of them are real difference makers however and that was the whole point I was trying to make. 

Agree to disagree.. I think Henderson could be but hasn’t been handed the starting role to do that. I also think Lucas should be used more in the slot…But much respect.. appreciate what you bring to the board
